Introduction
The crane scale carries out internal weight checks. The crane scales power is supplied via the 3 x AA
batteries, which have an operating time of up to 65 hours. The crane scale has a maximum load range of
1.000kg. A hook, a shackle and a remote control are included in the delivery content.

Before installing and putting this equipment into operation, please read the operating instructions
through carefully. We are not liable for damages that occur due to non observance of the
operating instructions.
If the equipment is not used for a long period of time, then remove the batteries.
In order to prevent potential hazardous situations when using this measuring equipment, it is vital
to adhere to the safety precautions provided by the manufacturer.
Do not expose the equipment to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, extreme humidity or
moisture
Never use the measuring equipment with wet hands.
It is not permitted to carry out any technical changes on the equipment.
The equipment should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
detergents which contain solvents.
The equipment must only be used with accessories offered by PCE Germany or with
replacements of equal value.
The environmental conditions, for example the temperature ranges in which the measuring
equipment can be used, as stipulated in the operating instructions specifications, must always be
adhered to. Otherwise the operation of the equipment is prohibited.
The measuring equipment is not to be used in an environment where there is a danger of
explosion.
Do not measure more than a ton.
In order to prevent potential hazardous situations when using heavy-lifting equipment, it is vital
the manufacturer and the operator adhere to certain requirements. When using the measuring
equipment, no risk must be posed to the operator.
The operator or the person responsible for operating the measuring equipment must adhere to
the national regulations for example health and safety at work regulations or any other
governmental safety standards.
There are also other safety precautions to be taken into consideration when operating the
equipment, for example precautions provided by the crane, lifting device or shackle manufacturer
etc.
The assembly, the commissioning and the servicing of the measuring equipment must only be
carried out by properly trained personnel who have been provided with the appropriate protective
equipment.
The measuring equipment must not be altered and is only allowed to be used for the intended
purpose.
The measuring equipment as well as any other equipment (for example the crane or any other
heavy-lifting equipment) must be regularly serviced and maintained and where necessary have
the service history correctly logged or certified. Each time before using the equipment a visual
check must be carried out. In the case of any discrepancies for example cracks, breaks or
deformities, the equipment must be immediately disabled and declared unfit for use. This must
also be reported where necessary to the person in your company who is responsible for health
and safety.
Repairs must only be carried out by trained service personnel and only approved replacement
parts must be used when carrying out a repair. All repairs, servicing and replacement parts must
be documented by the service department
The operating instructions as well as the safety instructions must always be visible whilst using
the measuring equipment.
The measuring equipment is not explosion-proof and must not be used in an environment
where there is a danger of explosion. The environmental conditions, for example the temperature


ranges in which the measuring equipment can be used, as stipulated in the operating
instructions, must always be adhered to. The usage of the equipment in areas which are exposed
to high levels of contamination or corrosion should be avoided. In instances of major temperature
fluctuations, the equipment must be given time to acclimatise before being used.
The measuring equipment is only to be used for lifting and weighing of freely moving loads. A
twisting or stressing of the load must not occur during the weighing process. The equipment must
not be used for lifting people. It is prohibited for loads to be allowed to be dropped or be pulled
along the ground or pulled at an angle.
The maximum load as stipulated in the operating instructions [MAX] must never be exceeded
(this also includes the maximum load stipulated for the crane or the heavy-lifting equipment being
used in conjunction with the measuring equipment).
Whilst operating the equipment any other potential hazardous areas, directly around the
equipment should also be taken into consideration. When the equipment is in operation the
hazardous area must be kept clear of any personnel. Directly beneath the load is of course an
obvious hazardous area, but the danger of, for example a cable snapping, should also be taken
into consideration, and a sufficient amount of safety distance should be observed.
If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments UK Ltd

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Servicing and examination
Checks to be made before the use of the measuring equipment
The equipment must be checked before the beginning of every workday. . In the course of the
examination, the operator must ensure that,
- no deformations or other damages for example cracks are visible
- all the attachment parts are present and in good order and condition (for example safety splints
etc.).
- the present complete system does not conceal any hazards (for example an incorrect assembly).
- there are no potential hazards within the vicinity of the operating area and if so the must be dealt
with or rendered safe before operating the equipment.
Regular inspection / Servicing
-
After every 3 months or after 12,500
measurements, depending on which comes first.
After every 12 months or after 50,000
measurements, depending on which comes first.
-
After every 5 years or 25,000 measurements,
depending on which comes first.
After every 10 years or 50,000 measurements,
depending on which comes first.
-
Check all parts for any excessive wear and
tear.
Check all dimensions.
Check housing for any signs of
deformation or damage.
Check all parts and ensure they are
functioning correctly.
Check all load-bearing parts for example
hairline cracks etc. Only trained personnel
are to carry out maintenance.
All load-bearing parts must be exchanged.
If the measuring equipment has reached
the end of its usable life, then it needs to
be replaced.
If property damage and personal injury is caused through incorrect use or non compliance of the
regulations then the owner or the operator is responsible. The manufacturer will not be liable for damages
caused by inappropriate handling. The safety guidelines are an excerpt out of the applicable standards
and regulations, including suggestions and tips. These do not replace the valid standards and regulations,
but are there to ensure a safe usage of the measuring equipment. You should familiarise yourself with the
valid national safety and regulations.

8.2
Calibration
If the scale is giving incorrect readings, it is possible to re-adjust them. The scale will permit the resetting
or adjustment of the gravitational force. If the correct factor is entered, the scale will give an accurate
weight reading. Should the correct gravitational force factor have already been entered and the scale is
still giving incorrect readings, then the scale can be adjusted by up to three calibration points. Therefore
there is also the option to carry out a 1 point / 2 point or even a 3 point adjustment. However if only one
calibration weight is available, then the re-calibration can be concluded after the first calibration point. We
suggest you to use ³/4 of the load for the 1 point calibration and for the 3 point calibration, for example
1/3, 2/3 or the full load. The individual adjustment points can be freely set on the scale and can be
adapted to the weights provided by the operator.
